Rory McIlroy tabs friend to caddie at PGA Championship, WGC-Bridgestone

Matthew Lewis/R&A(Photo by Matthew Lewis/R&A/R&A via Getty Images)Rory McIlroy parted ways with longtime caddie J.P. Fitzgerald on Monday, a week after the pair finished T-4 at Royal Birkdale. The four-time major winner has not announced his new loop, but we do have an idea on the short-term replacement.
According to the Telegraph, McIlroy has tabbed friend and businessman Harry Diamond to be on the bag this week in Akron at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Diamond is also expected to be with McIlroy at next week's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. While sources say it's a temporary move, others have speculated the pairing could last longer depending on the performance of the next two weeks.
Diamond is a childhood friend of McIlroy's, playing on the same Ulster youth team and going on to represent the Irish senior team. He was reportedly McIlroy's best man at his recent wedding.
